Has anyone ever thought of when Supertramp will ever release a box set of its material through A&M (from 1970-88)?
The group's studio albums:
* Supertramp (1970; U.S. release 1977)
* Indelibly Stamped (1971)
* Crime of the Century (1974)
* Crisis? What Crisis? (1975)
* Even in the Quietest Moments (1977)
* Breakfast in America (1979)
* ... Famous Last Words ... (1982)
* Brother Where You Bound? (1985)
* Free as a Bird (1987)
Live albums:
* Paris (1980)
* Live '88 (1988)
Compilations:
Classics, Vol. 9 (1987)
The Very Best of Supertramp (1992; U.S. release 2001) (similar to Classics Vol. 9 except for the addition of "School," which leads the CD)
The Very Best of Supertramp, Vol. 2 (1993)
Retrospectacle: The Supertramp Anthology (2005; also known as Supertramp: Gold)
Lost material wanted:
"Land Ho" (early version with seagull intro)
"Land Ho" (original 1974 single release)
"School" (demo version)
"Bloody Well Right" (demo version)
"Dreamer" (1968 Roger Hodgson demo version)
"Rudy" (with Wurlitzer piano track and flute track)
"You Started Laughing (When I Held You in My Arms)" (1975) (original version; was B-side to "Lady" single)
"The Logical Song" (demo version)
"The Logical Song" (extended version, longer than the 4:08 album version)
"Goodbye Stranger" (demo version)
"Goodbye Stranger" (extended version, longer than the 5:47 album version)
"Take the Long Way Home" (extended version, longer than the 5:02 album version)
"Breakfast in America" (1968 Roger Hodgson demo version with his harmonium called "Grandma")
"It's Raining Again" (1968 Roger Hodgson demo version)
The recording of "Land Ho" which is track 3 on Retrospectacle is a 1975 remake which was intended to be released on the Crisis? What Crisis? LP. Roger Hodgson re-recorded the song himself for release on his 1987 solo album, Hai Hai.
The second disc of the Breakfast in America (Deluxe Edition) CD set is all live recordings. Most of those performances were done at the same show that made up the 16 tracks for the Paris live double-album, including "Goodbye Stranger," "Even in the Quietest Moments" and "Child of Vision."
In effect, there could easily have been a Paris Deluxe Edition version spanning three discs, which is an amalgam of the 16 songs off the original 2-LP/2-CD set and the songs off the second CD from the BIA Deluxe album, but using the proper order per the set list. The venue in question was the Pavillon de Paris, on November 29-30, 1979.
